The Developing Dev

LLM-powered code generation tools have made automation practically free, changing the cost-benefit calculation for repetitive tasks. The author shares practical examples of using AI to generate scripts for podcast transcript processing, video file stitching with ffmpeg, and converting notes to Markdown. These tools enable automation of even one-off tasks that previously weren't worth the manual effort, fundamentally changing how developers approach small, repetitive work.

What Would You Automate if It Was Free?

I made a tool to transcribe and summarize youtube videos where i just send the youtube link per telegram and get the summarized transcript back, i also made it remove ads from the text and all the “Hello people” and backstory stuff of the individual youtubers. Basically i just made it give me the information.
This has saved me so much time in which i would have watched videos like “OpenAI just released GPT-5 will you have a job tomorrow?!?!”
Turns out yes i will have a job and i didn’t have to watch a video for an hour to find out.

if youre not using n8n, windmill.dev, AutoKitteh or any durable workflow locally or/on docker then you’ll be wasting a lot of time.
i automated all my notifications, categorized and summaried by AI workflows, then spoken via tts directly into my airpods for urgent ones or delivered podcast style wheneven it detects im idle eg: custom phone app detects not walking, not driving, no apps open, nic detects no background conversation picked up by mic, not on certain location/geofence and while desktop app detect no ide ,conference,etc apps in forground.
yeah i practically made spyware to know if im idle then just play the summary of everything i missed so far, then emailed all of it as a daily report at end of the day.
stop grabbing your phone everytime it beeps: Automate

I would automate my management. With my script.
